Read the Bible.
That’s it?
That’s it! Read the Bible. . .
But reading the Bible is hard! And I don’t know where to start! Sometimes I just don’t get what it’s saying! I don’t have the time! I’m afraid! What if I do it wrong! Ugh!
Have no fear. Today, right now, you can join the thousands, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of people who have learned how to use technology to help them fit Bible reading into their busy day. Finally, a wholly positive use of modern technology!
Some join one of the many services that will read the Bible to you. A good option, but lacking in that you still have the problem of trying to make sense of the Word. Many of us need an experienced guide to help provide context and suggest relevant application. So what’s better? You can join a service that not only reads you the Bible, but surrounds it with a “mini” Bible Study so that when the Scriptures for the day are read, they really make sense to you. This way you can learn to disce
what the Bible is actually saying and its practical application to your daily life. At Paul's Primers Online Ministry we do exactly that as every weekday we provide a new and relevant ten minute Inductive Bible Study built around our Daily Scripture Reading. We provide this through simple and convenient Christian Podcasts—which are always available and thus certain to fit into any schedule, even yours!
But, what does “reading” the Bible do for you? Simple, it builds Christ in you. In fact, it is the only way to build Christ in you. Going to Church and praying are not enough to build Christ in you. Only incorporating the hearing of the Word into your daily life will accomplish this. For what is Christ if not the Word! “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1) “And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us … ” (John 1:14)
So this is how we build the Power of Christ in our lives. Remember, as Christians we are instructed to live in the Spirit, and told that “any who have not the Spirit of Christ are not of God.” (Romans 8:9) So we must cultivate this Spirit of Christ. And the only way to do this is to spend time every day with Him. When we read the Bible or hear the Bible read to us each and every day, we are spending time with Him and thus building Christ in us. It’s that simple. This is the only way to deeply build Christ in you. And the only way to truly live the powerful life unto which you are called.
So start building the Power of Christ in you today. You can start reading your Bible on your own. . . or you can do what so many others are doing, become a member of the Paul’s Primers Online Ministry. With our daily Christian Podcasts, the text itself will speak directly to you as we follow the three basic rules of Inductive Bible Study: Rule 1) Observation, that is, noting the who, what, when and where of the text; Rule 2) Interpretation, that is, noting the how and why of the text; and Rule 3) Application, that is, noting the application of the text in our daily walk with the Master. In this way, we have one of the most simple yet powerful ways for you to start building a relevant and Authentic Faith born out of the Ancient Christian Truths once delivered to the saints. And this will provide you a truly powerful Heaven View from which a victorious and triumphant Worldview will naturally proceed.
This is how to access the Power of Christ.

Secrets to Living the Life You've Always Wanted
It seems rather odd to refer to any of what follows as secrets. For one thing, the word “secret” implies that something is hidden and the wisdom below is anything but secret. In some form or fashion, you could find these in virtually any spiritual tradition. Second, “secret” implies that the spiritual wisdom that would lead one to the life he/she really wants is really only accessible by a few. And, the unfortunate tendency is not to regard your self as one of the select few. But, of course, you are.
